About the course
This course combines seminars with game design workshops in order to explore - theoretically and practically - how to design games that can illuminate the human condition and contribute to a meaningful life. We will look to your own personal experiences as inspiration sources for game ideas and use metaphor and analogy to create games on complex, abstract concepts, such as loyalty, dignity, courage or trust. Furthermore, we will draw on a range of theories and methods from relevant disciplines outside game design to expand our conception of what games can be and how they can impact players in a profound way. Theoretical frameworks are then tested through application to practical game design. This course provides you with opportunities to incubate a topic for a future degree project.
